Change of Venue update!

As you may have heard, in mid February the Chief Justice of the PA Court announced the court's agreement to honor the Senate Resolution which asked the court to allow for a study of the venue change issue. While this is terrific news, it is not in any way a total victory and we should/must continue to be active on this matter!

Thanks to the hundreds of physician members who’ve sent their comments to the Rules Committee – please consider writing an op ed piece or letter to the editors of our local newspapers. We must continue to get the word out to the public about this proposal. If anyone would like some assistance in writing a piece – please call the medical society office at (610) 892-7750

Thanks for understanding just how important this matter is!
